I asked the barrista how the new concept was being received and he said 90% of customers liked it, but being in a high density tourist area he was struggling with the spelling of all the foreign names!

This may be hard for you to believe but most people Over the Pond are happy and do want you to have a nice day! I'm British so I can see how this would be hard for you to get your head around.

What about stickers with the name and a picture of each Barista to make it more fun and save pens? Though is that too much information to have with your coffee? Great idea Alexa.
